Research projects

Project grants - call for applications

Project grants are awarded for up to £250,000 and up to three years for clearly defined research projects addressing key questions in the field of blood cancer. The remit of the project grant scheme includes research projects that maximise the value and outcome of a clinical trial and specifically includes applications that would previously have been considered through the Trial-Associated Research Project scheme. Please note that new applications for biobank funding will not be considered.

Applications will be reviewed by independent experts in relevant fields and applicants will have the opportunity to respond to the peer review comments. The applications, reviews and rebuttals will be assessed by the Research Committee. Criteria used to assess applications include:

Relevance to blood cancer, and people living with and beyond blood cancer

Programme continuity grants

Current or recent holders of Bloodwise programme grants can apply for support to maintain core elements of their research programme, including but not limited to the retention of key research personnel. The purpose of this funding scheme is to allow successful applicants to maintain a strong blood cancer focus to their work, while maximising investment from other funders.

Funding will be available for up to £300,000 for up to 3 years. Potential applicants must discuss an application with the Bloodwise Research Team before they can begin an application in Grant Tracker.

Applications will be reviewed by independent experts in relevant fields and applicants will have the opportunity to respond to the peer review comments. The applications, reviews and rebuttals will be assessed by the Research Committee. Criteria used to assess applications include:

Achievements from the previous programme grant

Clinical trials

Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP) clinical trial applications

The application process for TAP trials includes an iterative process of assessment of fit and feasibility before an application can be submitted through our grant tracker system. Please contact the TAP HUB Management team in Birmingham and the Bloodwise research team if you wish to discuss an application.

Non-TAP clinical trials

We are not currently accepting applications for clinical trials outside the TAP network.

Trial-associated research projects

This funding scheme provided support for laboratory-based research projects that are integral to clinical trials and essential for the analysis of primary and/or secondary end points and clinical outcome. We are no longer accepting applications to this scheme, but you may now apply for support for this type of project through our standard project grant scheme.
